This video clarifies California's definition of a 'sniper scope' under Penal Code 468, explaining that it specifically targets devices designed for firearm mounting that use projected infrared light or electronic telescopes to detect subjects at night. Standard daytime magnified scopes and non-mounted night vision devices (like PVS-14s or NVDs) are generally not included in this definition. The speaker emphasizes that a device must meet all three criteria: designed for mounting, use of infrared/thermal illumination, and magnification, to be considered an illegal sniper scope under this code.
